Is there a way through Ninja Script that I can draw custom line with a "cross" option and label text similar to the ones that are drawn by Chart Trader when you place an order? I would like to build a custom function if the "cross" is placed to remove the line and also do some other stuff. If its possible to draw the chart trader "price marker" line with all its functionality then that would be ideal.

Hello trader-ap,
Yes, you can render just about anything you want, within the chart area (not within the price margin to the right).
Including all of the click functionality of the order lines is going to be work.
The order will update with the Account.OrderUpdate event.
Below are links to working with mouse clicks.

Thanks for this. On these threads, I could not see which NinjaScript calls I can make to draw the Chart Trader Price Line "object".(see attached). I want to essentially press a key and mouse click this object onto the chart. at the mouse click point. I am fine with the code for the key press and mouse click but need some help on which class / function I can call to draw the "Chart Trader Price Line" object with all the functionality it has for changing the quantity straight from the chart.
I am assuming there is a class NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartTrader which has functions that could be called to draw the ChartTrader price line on the chart.. What I would like to know is which function to call to bring up this price line based on a price point I will supply into the function (not necessarily the click point). Additionally I will supply the quantity and order type and simulated order flag so that the line is all pre-configured and ready to submit.Last edited by trader-ap; 08-15-2022, 07:20 PM.Comment

Hello trader-ap,
Lines are drawn with RenderTarget.DrawLine()
Rectangles are drawn with RenderTarget.DrawRectangle()
Text is drawn with RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout().
"I am assuming there is a class NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartTrader which has functions that could be called to draw the ChartTrader price line on the chart"
No, there is not. NinjaTrader does not write code for you to replace the ChartTrader. It already has its own chart trader. You have to design your own. It will be work.Chelsea B.NinjaTrader Customer ServiceComment
